Whether you are planning an event for a crowd or providing food for one, it is important to remember to keep it simple and make familiar recipes. Some of the best meals are comfort food that people love to eat, but do not always want to make.
Sandwiches
Make a giant sub that can be cut into smaller pieces or make a variety sandwiches on different types of bread. Use roast beef and Swiss on rye bread, ham and cheddar on wheat bread and throw in a few peanut butter and jelly on white bread sandwiches for trays of food that are appealing to everyone.
Crock Pots
Use crock pots to make large batches of food, like sloppy joe's, chili and chicken with dumplings.
Grill
Put marinated chicken, pork, beef or fish with lemon butter on a hot grill for a quick, tasty meal. Throw a few fruit kabobs on the grill to add a party dessert.
Casserole
Make broccoli chicken and rice casseroles or spaghetti casserole for a tasty home-cooked meal guaranteed to feed a crowd.
Fried Chicken
Fry batches of chicken to serve with cold salads or hot sides like mashed potatoes and green beans.
Considerations
Make simple meals when cooking for a crowd; familiar recipes work best. Make the food in familiar batch sizes or try doubling the recipe. Remember to adjust cooking times after altering a recipe.
